The law, which would punish doctors performing the operation with a five-year prison term and a $5,000 fine, awaits the signature of Republican Gov. Michael Rounds and people on both sides of the issue say he is unlikely to veto it. Also defeated was an amendment to put the proposal in the hands of voters. The bill as written does make an exception if the fetus dies during a doctor's attempt to save the mother's life.
